Ruby Franke's Sister Bonnie Speaks Up | We Can See Right Through It. 

......and the grossly fakey fake "crying"...

These were my exact thoughts throughout the entire video.

Yes!! What in the heck?! I couldn’t believe my ears! This lady is so self centered!

I don't think she's allowed to speak about them cause it's a pending trial

Yeah that made me cringe. It’s all about how this has affected her.

She could of atleast said her heart goes out for her nieces and nephews without talking about the abuse but nope everything was feel bad for me

Yep because this was their chance for great content and sponsors since the baby train is over.

That's not what she said. She said, "this casts a bad light on our family".

And those they counseled need to be investigated and their children! They might have taught many to abuse their children!

Agree

Josh doesn’t. He so hateful toward them.

That comment by her really confused me.

In her new video she says it's unheard of and truly unbeliveable... though. Which one is it?!

@@kristinmarieleone4495but Josh isn’t their parent.

I think you're deliberately misrepresenting her words. In no way did she ever downplay what happened. But what was she supposed to do? We know CPS showed up to the house several times and nothing came of it. She can't just go to the house and grab the kids. What good would it do if she got in trouble with the law?

❤

What’s even more terrifying is that so many still follow her and practically worship her. What an extremely disturbing world we live in that anyone could still support child exploitation after seeing what the Franke kids went through. I feel really sorry for ALL the kids in this terrible family!

that’s an absolutely insane comment. definitely not true at all.

​@@aoife3052why did Bonnie never use her massive platform to help her nieces and nephews? If enough noise is made by people, CPS and the authorities, will have no choice but to investigate seriously. The responsibility doesn't fall on Bonnie if CPS chose to do nothing...however, she did not do all that she could. She has a MASSIVE platform...she could have joined Sheri in speaking out about the abuse.

She's worried about her future earning potential youtube having just built a house, says it all.

It's sad but the truth is.. She had zero to do with this.. At least not in the way we expected her to.. Her nephew and nieces deserved better.. But there's only so much you can do if you don't have legal authority over the minors.. As pissed off as I am about all of this.. I don't think Beau, Bonnie, Julie or Ellie should be punished for the crimes of their sick and twisted sister.. I can't even begin to imagine what their parents are thinking and going through.

Take RU-vid out of it. If I had a friend, co-worker, or acquaintance who was going through this and they were crying about how made they were about it because “their actions have cast the worst light on me” I would be absolutely horrified. That is not where the anger should “come in.” Like, as a human, that is not what she should be most angry about.

She's an even bigger narc than ruby🤣 it's actually hilarious

​@mylifesjourneythroughsurro3 this is a horrible take. Only a narcissist or psychopath would worry about their reputation when their young family members have been tortured and abused. Any normal decent person with a shred of morals would be angry CHILDREN WERE HARMED. It doesn't hurt your reputation if you agree what they did was wrong and have sympathy and concern for the victims. She's digging her own hole by showing the world how selfish and self centered she is.

What happened with Julie and Abby also?

@@kristietaylor7954 from the 911 call Julie was in the house with Russell and Eve.

Exactly my thought !!

These sister's are making it all about themselves, I dont know the brothers stance on all of this because he must not have a RU-vid channel, but just stop posting these videos, I'm sure the connexions thing has impacted your family greatly but there is a more important issue here that needs fixing and it's this broken and abused young siblings, and the two oldest Shari and Chad who also went through alot of things, Russell is being accused of a serious crime by his mother and it may end up with him not being able to live with his other siblings, that is wat is important, these kids need to stay strong together as a family unit, regardless of what they feel about their parents

​@kristietaylor7954 from wat I heard on Annie's channel the two children Julie and Abby were found in another location to Russell and Eve and they were looking healthy not malnourished

This is what stuck out the most when I heard about ruby's abuse. How could they go on a mission to help others..when those close to them needed help....

even worse if that is even possible is they apparently are staying there. They have another year of their two years. It's mind blowing my parents had 5 granddaughters and they would have moved heaven and earth to protect their little ones. Very sad narcissistic family.

Probably because she legally can't talk about them.

​@@TigerheartedWolf You can still say that the children have been through hell and we are doing everything we can to help them and be there for them. No such statement was made. The problem is that they should remain silent or focus on their nephews and nieces. These entire film is about them and how hard it is for them

Yup - all she cares about.

Do people assume that that because Ruby is doing this that her own siblings wouldn’t be upset. Sounds rather twisted!

Exactly

@@suzannec8400 no, we are not assuming that, but they are capitalizing on it with posts like the one she put up. She’d be better off staying silent. It is what it is… can’t control your siblings but you can control how you react to it.

@@cheryldavidson-guitargirl1 I get your perspective but there are other comments that are basically saying Bonnie is exactly like ruby. To be fair I understand your perspective.

@@suzannec8400 people are saying Bonnie is like Ruby because Bonnie is. Now I don’t think that Bonnie has duck taped. Her children are locked them in somewhere for days or left them alone for a week or two like Ruby. I think a lot of people who might be newer to them. Don’t realize a lot of Bonnie’s videos were taken down by RU-vid and she was demonetized because her videos were seen by RU-vid and complained on so much about child abuse that RU-vid shut her down she got on within 13 minutes a RU-vid shutting her down telling her fans to get on the phone get on the email, do everything they could get her monetized again cause she was just a poor mother trying to feed her children. Bonnie put her children on blankets at 8 o’clock in the morning when her husband would go to work and expect them including babies learning to crawl and walk and not move off of their blanket or they got smacked. Bonnie turn the locks on her children’s doors backwards so she could lock them in so they cannot exit their room after 7:30 PM Bonnie regularly used food to control her children. Bonnie would take her children in the bathroom, brush their teeth and do other things to them and tell them that she owned their body that is she had to pay medical bills and dental bills. She would do anything she wanted to their body and did not need their consent until they could pay their own bills. She is just like Ruby.

How do you know she didn’t do enough?

@@winter2787 She tells you in the video what she did. If you're in a situation where you know your vulnerable family members are being abused you should not give up until you get them help. I mean who could you go on living your life knowing that?

​@@mkl93355How do you know they didn't? I'm sure you're not a stupid person. You know that CPS already investigated 8passengers before and deemed nothing was wrong. You know Shari has been fighting for her siblings for all this time but nothing happened. You know that everyone, including neighbours, knew that things weren't right but CPS still said everything was fine. The only person in this whole sorry mess who could have done something sooner was Kevin. He did nothing. What else could anybody else have done if CPS deemed everything was ok and the pathetic excuse of a man that Kevin is didn't fight for his own kids and was initially complicit in the abuse?

Such a good interview with John Dehlin.

I agree! The interview on Mormon Stories Podcast was really good & I’m not usually someone who would listen to an entire 3 hour podcast but I couldn’t stop listening! I really appreciated John Dehlin (podcast host) allowing Jessi to have the space speak (which, IMO, she’s a great speaker & seems like very strong person). He didn’t interrupt too often or talk too much himself, besides asking a few very good questions.

Exactly! I felt the same. When it ended it felt like only 15-20 min had passed. Jessi adds so much more context into this heartbreaking vile ‘lifestyle’ she endured & what these children have been living in. I can’t really use the word ‘live’ in - what they have been enduring in. Simply horrendous…

Yes, all of the interviews in their entirety are valuable and necessary to watch to fully understand what is happening.

Yes! And the interview with Ruby's cousin. Both Ruby and Jodi did these things WITHOUT each other. And then got together and encouraged each other. They BOTH deserve what they get. And Jodi's niece shows why Jodi should be in prison for life. She's been abusing children for decades and will continue if she gets off, even with 15years.

Exactly.....what about those poor kids! Bonnie should just shut her damn mouth.

Omg you people are nuts. She obviously said she cannot talk about the case the kids, etc. She stated she is upset. Don’t miss use peoples words that kind of shit pisses me off. She is upset because people are attacking her and so she was the one abusing the kids. People stated she should’ve kidnapped them. What would that have? Got her prison just like her sister? Now they didn’t know the severity of what was going on and if you actually follow the shit. That’s going on you would understand how it all went down. But she Ruby was married and everyone thought Kevin was monitoring the situation. No one knew she took them away, including her own daughter that was also monitoring what was going on and reporting it to CPS, who kept saying the kids were safe and there was no issue.

I know rigth? I couldn't believe my ears when she said that XD Utter madness...

my thoughts exactly, she needs to stop making it about her and her feelings

I hope that whole family loses followers I’ve seen Bonnie over the years especially with Lincoln she asked sometimes like she can’t even stand the kids he only ask out for attention .

I’m going to hell for laughing at this but damn I needed a good belly laugh with all this sadness and just disgusted behavior! 🤣

@@PrettyLittleLatina1989 I hesitated to post this comment but I HAD to, to lighten things up. 😅 Hugs from one Latina to another 💕

Omg if Dr pepper were a person!!! Ha I had to. It's the color of the outfit.. everything

@@shortie.2380 yes girl needed that laugh and all love right back at you girl!

@@Mellz77 hahaha yes! 🤣🤣

THIS 💯

👏

Yep she is mad because now she can’t pay for her big house and because she looks bad. 🙈

Well said 👏👏

!!!!

I call that abandonment of the most wretched kind!

I can't believe that he let her control him

Every narcissist parent needs an enabler parent

@@lifeaccordingtotheo9643FACTS

FACT

That is so true

Pokok9k K Okkk

😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

I can't like this comment enough!

Did you read the comments on that video? She has a lot of support on her channel, I scrolled thru and didn't see one bad one.

I agree, the entire family is the same!

She said she is mad at what has happened what more do you want her to say sounds pretty specific to me.

Bonnie may well get banned from special joys and privileges. Outer Darkness comes to mind! She did that fake crying crap again. But saved us from The Sun will Rise................ The two children have been hurt so very deeply😢She is worried more about money and me me me.

@@aliciahorsepool4155 she is called bawling Bonnie! I am blocked from her pages for calling her out on constant crying on her channel.

a bit of self reflection wouldn't go astray within this family.

The comment she made about her husband being so affected by it was weird. No one cares about you guys!!!

Cool

@@gracieharris-riley6902she was meaning it’s breaking his heart. He is so sad for the kids.

💯 👏👏👏

​@@gracieharris-riley6902 When she said that I was like "whaaaaaaat?". She's absolutely disgusting.

It also takes CPS being on your side and taking you seriously. I can't believe idiots out here literally seem to think Bonnie/the grandparents/Shair could literally have just walked in and taken those children. That is called kidnap.

Just bc you do that everyday doesn’t mean anything will happen.. the system is fucked

This and hire a lawyer… they have the money. She could have easily hired a family lawyer to help them navigate the juvenile court system, CPS, etc.

I used to think the same thing till I found out how the system works. It’s trash. The system doesn’t work you can call all you want and have great lawyers it doesn’t work until things like this happen.

​@@jeepchicfulThe system is full of chold abusers (sexual and physical) from the very top, down. Our government, law makers, child services....all protect real abusers. But will remove children if a parent smokes Marijuana on the weekends lol. It is absolutely trash, yes.

They all could've spoken about it on their YT channels, I'm sorry but those kids could've died

Not one word out of her mouth about those children! 😡

Are you all idiots? The judge ordered her not to speak about the children for their safety.

None of it was for money though? Ruby is just sick in the head that’s why she abused them

@@Aisling464 Let's be real here. She's quite clearly mentally unstable and disturbed. She realized that her "wicked witch of the west" style of parenting is what made her Money.

I’m so sorry you went through that. I found out a year ago my niece went through abuse. I feel guilty but I had no idea because I lived in another state and rarely saw her.

💔😓

Thank you louder for those in the back

💖💖💖💖

People don't understand how manipulative these women are. They are good at controlling interactions and triangulation.

Greedy ... that house ain't free...

the "audacity" is on Ruby and Kevin...

@@jeremybilbrey1133absolutely for the things they did, but how are you able to identify their wrong but not Bonnie’s? Especially after what she’s done in the past 10 days alone.

I've been in this situation where my nieces and nephews were in a horrible situation it took years to get cps to actually do something and legally by law we couldn't just go take them or we would be charged with kidnapping

But I agree that the entire family are shit people and all are abusive

​@@Zhana808Bonnie and her whole family were cut off by Ruby. Also Bonnie and her family did help. The physical abuse is new and the family didnt know.. how can you accuse Bonnie!!!! You are ridiculous. I have family members that have done somethings. My family and i have legally tried for years to do all that we can and it has been frustrating how nothing ever happens. How could we be blamed by the actions of others ... We have also been told liars you have not done anything... But we have trien for 15 years to get help through the court.. retraining orders and all!!!

FACT

I remember that. Bri did everything for her. She even left Bri to take care of her kids' head lice problem so she and Joel could fly somewhere. The plastic surgery was another story. A tummy tuck, liposuction, boob job, chin surgery. Joel got his hair plugs in a different state. It's all about them.

I felt like she had work done but in that she looks weird but I can’t fully place it way. I thought it was maybe just poorly placed lip filler and rage at being called out but it sounds like it is more than that. I am not against plastic surgery but sometimes it doesn’t have the desired effect and whining me, me, me in a angry way makes it look worse.

@@alexacarrillo4339 doesn't it though. Bonnie knows that we all know a little bit of concealer under the eyes would have helped, but then again if I was in her position I wouldn't want to come on YT looking my best.

@@masterofnone520 I was thinking the same about her makeup. That she had to try to enhance the haggard look.

Yes. A lot of this righteous indignation from people is clearly coming a from a place of... unrealistic fantasy. "I would have done this and I would have done that!" You tell therapists, you tell special masters, you tell bishops and you tell the kids. No one believes you. Because abusers are SO good at acting right in the shadows of "the line". Of playing victim and "tramatized". And it having an answer for everything you bring up. It is NOT as easy as these people want to believe.

21:43-22:05 everything he suggests... Those wells are all poisoned before you show up. He may not "want to hear that", but it still sounds like solutions from someone who has no idea what they are dealing with.

@mschenandlerbong8539 yes I know even for myself and my children it's an uphill battle! I have to knowingly send them into a mentally and emotionally abusive situation, that has walked the line of physical abuse in my opinion, and have advocated as hard as someone can, poured my money into the courts begging for help, but nothing has been done to help me. I'm cut off totally from my own children when they're in this situation, they are forced to eat till sick, screamed and cursed at, harshly reprimanded for asking for me or about home, and cut off from anything that has to do with the only home they live in 95% of the time (grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins). Mental and emotional abuse is more harmful and harder to prove. The court system continues to fail my own children and many children here in the US everyday. It is unfortunate, but from a daughter of a former case worker, it's insane the environments that are considered acceptable to leave children in. It's extremely sad and unfortunate for the Franke children.

THIS!! As a teacher I have seen situations where children are sleeping on the floor on blankets, there are bedbugs and roaches, they come to school dirty and hungry and nothing happens! The most heartbreaking for me though is I had neighbors I reported for neglect multiple times. Other neighbors did too. Finally a teacher called because the children said they didn’t have food at home and they were removed for a week while the church came in and did everything to fix up that house and stock the fridge. A week after they returned we woke up to flashing lights in the middle of the night and dozens of police and fire trucks lining the street. There was a smoldering fire that started in the basement and filled the home with smoke. The oldest child escaped from her bedroom window… both parents and the two younger children died at the scene or in hospital within 48 hours due to smoke inhalation. They think the oldest only survived because her bedroom door was closed and locked. There were NO smoke detectors in the home… a week after they went through a full inspection and DCFS didn’t notice there were no detectors. I still to this day feel like I should’ve done more. But the truth is there’s only so much you can do. It breaks my heart.

​@@mschenandlerbong8539it is possible the laws are different in Canada

that interview was really eye opening for sure. she was successfully driving a wedge between adam and his then wife, with such horrific accusations, and she definitely did that with ruby and kevin too

That was such a great use of hours. I don't see it listed so adding.. It's on Mormon Stories Podcast

It’s because she preys on weak vulnerable people. Adam’s ex wife became as bad as Jodi and played a huge part in destroying his life. Kevin just meekly leaves the home without any care about the safety of his children. They both put their own screwed up needs over their children.

Of course she will lie and exaggerate.

Her mom said once that she had several issues.

@@addsjo8091 so if your child cuts your out of your life and yells at you that doesn’t cause health issues because your perhaps not sick with worry. Ok

@@addsjo8091 i don’t know about Bonnie but I have not seen evidence of her Mom being Narcissistic please provide no hate just asking!

Where is that interview? Couldn't find it on RU-vid. Only found the one where Jodi's niece spoke out.

Are you talking about the six hour video on Mormon Stories Podcast? With the man who was also molested while in the Boy Scouts? And then sent to Jodi for counseling? I watched that yesterday-it was nearly six hours. What that man has gone through with the Mormon church is is absolutely horrifying.

@@maryannebrown2385 yes! It was devastating

Not ONCE did she mention those poor children!!!

@@Raya-ir4tm Absolutely!

@@tcuplvr Facts!

exactly.

Perfectly said!!

I remember watching Bonnie years ago when she was demonetized and was crying on the camera because she felt like she was going to lose her income. Bonnie whines a lot.

that's the part that she seems to not be in shock about. talking about her house instead and how her kids go to school every day as her concerns.

She’s legally not allowed to talk about them, do your research.

​@@elizabethstrones5707then don't make a video.

It sounds like she can't talk about the children

This woman was angry on the second video when she can no longer vlog and pay for her mansion. Her first video that she took down all she could talk about is vlogging. I could not even watch this one this is absolutely disgusting. She is the most disgusting person on the internet all she talked about in the video was herself. She will never give up vlogging she is pathetic and only thinks of herself.

20 min video:

Bingo

IT's SO WRONG

I absolutely agree. This is such a complex case and the amount of content already out there would give Josh a more well rounded analysis of the situation. I am not defending any of the family in this as they should have all done better

We all know that Jodi manipulates people, but you have to allow yourself to be manipulated! (Jessi was only a teenager and she was forced against her will to live with Jodi and subjected to terrible torture). Both Ruby and Kevin allowed themselves to be manipulated. They were always bad parents and almost sadistic in the way they punished their children. They took it to a whole new level by following Jodi’s sick ‘therapies’ which they obviously agreed with. It doesn’t take away ANY of their own responsibility in what happened to the kids, nor her sisters as they knew who Jodi Hilderbrandt was and how extreme she was !

Did she have kidney problems before she and her husband went to Serbia? I legit don’t know the timeline on that🤔

@@amyjones8114 Julie confirmed it. Instead of bashing Bonnie like Josh been doing..then watch Julie’s.

@@amyjones8114 ..yes…a while before they left on their mission.

Shari certainly knows what her father has or hasn’t been doing. Plus he’s a father, he already has legal custody of the kids, so he wouldn’t even need to fight for them. He could have called the cops himself.

You are incorrect. She did in fact have a heart attack in that same time they also found her kidneys were struggling.
